Hi guys, I need some help:

What color is the formation lights on the KC-10A Extender when the light is turned on IRL ?

Yellowish or the usual aviation green/cyan ?

Unfortunately i could not find any video/image on the NET with KC-10s formation lights on :(

 

Thank You

Atop the midnight tarmac,

a metal beast awaits.

To be flown below the radar,

to bring the enemy his fate.

 

HAVE A BANDIT DAY !

All USAF formation strip lighting is the same as on the A-10C, greenish.

Thanks Paul :thumbup:

 

and what about the Dutch KC-10A ? got the same form light color ?

 

BTW: this image confused me - looks form light is turned on (probably reflection only) but yellowish

My guess would be it's the same. The picture you referenced the light isn't illuminated it's just reflecting the ramp lights.

Fine, exactly what I was thinking.

Thank You again.
